Description

Invited to crabby old family matriarch "Mamaw" Toadfern's Thanksgiving celebration Josie is too curious to refuse. There she finds her long lost mom and pop, blandly unapologetic and full of new -- probably illegal -- get-rich-quick schemes. When a dead body is tossed into the chaos of bitter feelings, intra-family feuding, and incinerated turkey meat, Josie finds herself in the position of having to prove her disreputable dad innocent of murder.

Love Josie and her pals! It was good to finally find out more about Josie's family, but Josie herself seemed to lack a bit of something that she's had in the previous novels in the series. I'm not quite sure what it was, but she seemed far more insecure than usual. Maybe hanging out with the Taodfern clan has that effect on people!

This is what I'd call a chick lit book--good for a time when you don't want to have to think too much. Though as a bonus, you can probably pick up some good stain fighting tips.

This book explores the family history of the main character, Josie.
